Dave, I see this razor eternal love ...

Jrabi, yes, I really like this razor. I'll probably get back to the rest of my rotation at some point...

Bela, there's something familiar about that razor, LOL.

And Grant - wow, nice razor.

After reading Max's shave of the day today I wanted to try the Str8/DE shave as well. I honed up this Fily I picked up yesterday and then went 1st pass St8, 2nd pass DE, third pass Str8. I must say, it was a great shave, very smooth.
Hockey this afternoon, GO DEVILS!!!

I am suffering through a terrible head / chest cold, and am in rough shape, but thought I'd take some time for a nice Sunday shave.

Prep - Hot shower
Razor: Torrey 6/8 round tip - I think its a half hollow?
Brush: Badger
Cream: home-made Cedar and Lemon SC
Post: Thayer's, Anthony's Gold Red Cedar AS, Nivea ASB
EDT: L'Occitane Vetyver

I will need to post some photos of this Torrey. It is very quiet - almost shaves like my W&B wedge - no toast scraping sound at all. It has no jimps and has some heft to it. For $12 its a pretty good razor.

Ready to head off for a sunday afternoon walk with my wife, and enjoy some Vancouver sunshine.

Enjoy the week gents.

Hope you feel better soon!

thanks for your kind words!

Awesome shaves from all today, Gents!

I am always glad when this unusual Cattaraugus Green Lizard comes up in rotation. With a big, beefy tang and a 13/16 blade, I jokingly call it "For Lizard Barbers only" !
Stropped on Neil Miller bridle leather on my Lipshaw Microtome strop, Musgo lime soap preshave with SRD Lime stirred by a Thater made for a fine, catfish-belly smooth shave!

Everyone have a healthy and productive week to come! That's an Order!
